Have you noticed an increase in websites ending in “.legal”? If you’re part of the legal profession, you might be curious about what these domains entail and whether they’re a good fit for your online presence.
Let’s dive into the world of .legal domains and explore everything you need to know.
So, what exactly is a .legal domain?
The “.legal” domain extension is a top-level domain (TLD) specifically designed for the legal community. Like “.com” or “.org”, it’s a suffix that appears at the end of a website address.
However, unlike those general TLDs, “.legal” serves as an instant identifier that a website is associated with legal services or information.
This can be a valuable asset for lawyers, law firms, legal organizations, and businesses offering legal products or services.
Can anyone get a .legal domain?
Yes, but there’s a catch! You have to be involved in the legal world in some way. That means lawyers, law firms, legal organizations, or even companies that offer legal services.
Is it hard to register a .legal domain?
Not really! It’s pretty similar to getting any other domain name. You find a company that sells them like Truehost Cloud, check if your chosen name is available, and then buy it.
Any rules about .legal domain names?
A few, they include:
- Domain length: 3 to 63 characters long.
- Allowed characters: Letters(a-z), numbers(0-9), or Hyphens(-), not used in the start or end of the domain.
- Not allowed characters: Spaces, question marks, or any other special characters.
How much does a .legal domain cost?
The price can change depending on where you buy it. From us, it will cost you $52.42.You’ll usually pay a yearly fee of $52.42 to keep your domain.
What if I want to move my .legal domain?
You can do that! It’s called a transfer. Some things like your website or email might go down for a bit during the move, so keep that in mind.
Note that expired domains can’t be transferred; they must be active. We accept these transfers:
- Transfer into Truehost.
- Transfer away from Truehost.
- Transfer in between your Truehost accounts.
Can I get a refund if I change my mind?
Sadly, most companies even Truehost won’t give refunds for domain names. It’s like buying a ticket – you can’t usually get your money back once you’ve got it.
Please review our refund policy for more understanding. Contact support to help you clarify more on domains and other services.
How do I cancel my .legal domain?
This is easy. You just contact the company you bought it from, and they’ll help you cancel it. Once you do, someone else can snag your old domain name.
A .legal domain is a cool way to show off your legal cred online. It’s pretty easy to get, but remember that it’s mainly for people in the legal world.
